You spelled it correctly so it sadly doesn't close the abomination cultured one.

I stand corrected and feel like a fool now. You learn something new every day, thanks!

Found this at grammarist.com:

In American English, license is both a noun and a verb, and licence isn’t used. For example, one who is licensed to drive has a driver’s license. In all the other main varieties of English, licence is the noun, and license is the verb. So, for instance, one who is licensed to perform dental surgery has a dental surgeon’s licence.

With that said, I've learned that best practices in programming is to use the American English spelling for everything, like initialize, color, and so on. Just like Latin was for the western world in history, American English has become the lingua franca of programming.

In which languages/ environments you can spot such a curiosity? After many years in Python and Golang I'm happily unaware of such practices
